The reason for cancelling the ticket is separate from the request to leave the plane. I can talk about the latter without discussing the former, and I've responded civilly to every comment by talking about the fundamental rationale behind private property, public transport, contract rights and refusal to move resulting in an escalated response.

You seem to be creating the very "vile place" that you are complaining about.

Oof. Pot, meet kettle.

An important element of civil discourse is in limiting conversation to the content of the argument rather than attacking the person making the argument.

Yes I do - several posters attempted to offer new evidence to the gentleman and he doubled-down on his argument rather than acknowledge new information. His argument fundamentally advocated that violence was acceptable despite his acknowledgement that he didn’t actually have any background into the story.

I already said that the reason for the ticket cancellation and request to leave are separate issues. New information about the former doesn't change the latter. And none of this necessitated your extremely rude response.

> "fundamentally advocated that violence was acceptable"

Fundamentally all authority is based on violence. Actions create consequences and force is the last resolution available. It may be excessive, harmful, destructive, chaotic, and all manner of similar adjectives but it doesn't change the fact that violence is a core component of society and used to enforce all the civility you've come to expect.

My comment was not whether your rebuke was justified or not, but about your tone. Right after you lament that HN is becoming uncivil you swear and shout pejoratives.
